Château d'Armailhac

The Château d'Armailhac is one of the most famous Domaines in the Pauillac appellation. Having belonged to the d'Armailhacq family since the 18th century, it was awarded the title of Fifth Grand Cru Classé in the famous classification of Médoc wines for the Paris Universal Exhibition.

It was acquired by Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1933, who named it "Mouton-Baron-Philippe". In 1975, when his daughter Baroness Philippine took over its management, it became "Mouton-Baronne-Philippe". Finally, she decided to restore its identity, permanently naming it Château d'Armailhac in 1991.

Located on gravel and clay-limestone soils, its vineyard covers 76 hectares of vines, of which 55% are Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 8% Cabernet franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The wines are aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.

The Château d'Armailhac is a wine that combines power and refinement, complexity and elegance, with a beautiful aromatic expression typical of Pauillac.

Description +

Description Château d'Armailhac 2006.

A Bordeaux Médoc Pauillac born under the auspices of an exceptional year in terms of climatology where all the ingredients (sun, rain, spring and summer...), to make a great wine, are gathered.

La robe is crimson with some darker, more intense hues.

On tasting, many layers of flavors and aromas in perfect balance on small red berries such as black cherry from Navarre, blackcurrant from Bourgogne, wild strawberry from Périgord, gariguette from the Garonne valley with a hint of jammy plum from Ente and Reine Claude.

Delicate roasted and vanilla notes enhanced by a hint of cocoa from Côte d'Ivoire.
